Solo and Small Firm Member Benefit Mixer—July 25

Solo and small firm practitioners face two daunting challenges every single day: practicing law and running a business. Join the Solo and Small Firm Section for a fast-paced, professionally facilitated interactive workshop to find out what practice management issues bug you the most, what you’re doing about them already (or not), and whether what you’re doing is working (or not). Attendees will also be introduced to the concept of joining a Peer Counsel Group, where you’ll be able to easily get the practice management help you need—and also enjoy yourself and make some great friends and professional colleagues along the way! The event will run from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 25, in the CBA-CLE large classroom, located at 1900 Grant St., Suite 300. RSVP by July 22 to lunches@cobar.org. Cost to attend is $5.

Thank You to 20 Years of Lawline 9 Volunteers

In the June issue of The Docket we ran an article outlining the history of 20-year partnership between the Denver Bar Association and 9News for the weekly call-in program, Lawline 9. (Read it online at bit.ly/105jMLo.) We also ran the names of the attorneys who have given their time and expertise in the past 20 years. We left a few people off, and we thank you for letting us know so that we can recognize them: Joe Dischinger, Karen Larson, John Stewart, and Brett Wendt. Thank you for your commitment to and support of Lawline 9. You can view the list of volunteers online at bit.ly/14MrjR7.
